چکیده

possess quite different connotations. Pat Easterling examines evidence for the actor's voice, but the data proves more illuminating for the conduct of politics than for the theatre. Simon Goldhill's eloquent introduction sets up the proposition that Athens was, to an exceptional degree, a 'performance culture'. He challenges contemporary performance studies for its failure in not having always 'faced up to the historicity of the category of performance', and identifies key semantic categories that seem in Greek terms to have defined the category of the performative. He values the performative because it is bound up with practices of watching and reflecting upon oneself that make democratic politics possible. I found myself wondering, by the end, how far the frame of 'performance' relates to something inherent in the Athenian world, and how far it relates to the postmodern mindset, preoccupied with the socially constructed human body, the basis of social bonding in signals, and the lack of any centre of agency. Looking at the historically remote but uniquely well-documented world of Athens is a good way to address these problems.

A different non-semantic sense of ‘information’ is that used in assessing the accuracy of the transmission of electrical signals (Garcı́aSancho, p. 65), which Crick claims did not influence him.
